Big Boitold the story to ESPN today, explaining that they passed on the biggest sports show on television because André 3000 refused to shorten their playlist. “[Andre] didn’t want to cut the songs, he wanted to do the full songs," Big Boi recalled. "He said, 'Nah, can’t do it.'"

The songs “Hey Ya” and “They Way You Move” were too long for the halftime show. In the end, Big Boi couldn’t convince Three Stacks to compromise.

Had it all worked out, OutKast may have changed history as we know it by performing instead of Janet Jacksonand inadvertently preventing hernip slip. Plus, it would’ve been cool to see the ATLiens take over the Super Bowl.

“Hopefully they invite us back,” added Big Boi.
